    Can you try enabling hdmi_force_hotplug=1 in config.txt? Looks like kodi is having troubles with composite video mode (which is default if no HDMI device is connected).

    so long,

    Hi thanks for your reply...to be honest I had a hard time to roll back to 9.0.2 as the addons I have installed where updated to work with 9.1.002 and after I reinstalled 9.0.2 again the addons didn't downgrade and I lost VNC connection...

    Anyway now I am back on 9.0.2 and all is working fine..

    I would like to try what you suggested but perhaps I will try to replicate issue on my other RPi at home so I can fix quickly if something goes wrong as the Rpi in question is 3000km away from home with no tv attached to it...so got to do everything through ssh and vnc so hardwork..

    Maybe someone else who got same issue can try this...

    So I updated a RPi 3b from LibreElec Addon from 9.0.2 to 9.1.002 and it starting acting weirdly...went to safe mode many times and got over 2000 crash logs in a week..

    Addons don't respond and couldn't connect in any way to the Rpi.

    Main error I could see in every log is this :

    Code
    2019-08-03 11:20:34.362 T:1937531456   ERROR: failed to create window surface (EGL_BAD_NATIVE_WINDOW)
2019-08-03 11:20:34.362 T:1937531456   FATAL: CApplication::Create: Unable to create window

2019-08-03 11:20:34.720 T:1937531456   ERROR: eglSwapBuffers failed (EGL_SUCCESS)
2019-08-03 11:20:34.720 T:1937531456   ERROR: Exception in CApplication::Cleanup()

    This is a headless Rpi being used as a TvHeadened server with RPi TVHat attached..

    Only addons installed are VNC,Tvheadend Server/HTSP Client and Emby4.

    Please understand this is far away from my home so it's bit hard for me to try certain things.

    Any Help appreciated..

  • Raspberry PI gpio-fan overlay

    Good idea but that's still a script to me..plus all you have to do is install libreelec tools addon and it will work with a small script via gpio anyway...on/off speed control etc...tested and works fine

  • LibreELEC (Leia) 9.1.002 ALPHA

    I can confirm this too although not sure what went wrong exactly as my Rpi is 3500km away..all I have installed on it is Tvheadened server....emby server4 and VNC server..

    Tryed to update to 9.1.002 from 9.0.1 trough VNC and lost connection and couldn,t connect anymore...

    After getting my inlaws to get an old monitor and connect to the Rpi to see what went wrong just found out it was stuck on Safe Mode and just needed a reboot altough VNC did need a force update to start again..

  • Rpi3 low audio via analogue output

    Quote from Da Flex

    Yes, that's my final thought, too. During the updates an analogue setting maybe got lost. Analogue output is not a very popular feature.

    I use analogue output a lot connected to an old Dvd Surround Sound System and audio is normal as when playing dvd's..

    I always leave the audio setting ON to both analogue and hdmi audio...then when I need to use the speakers just mute the TV.

  • Rpi3 low audio via analogue output

    Press that plug in as far as you can till it clicks.

    Are you sure it's not a driver issue and audio outputs are working and recognized properly?

    ssh to your pi

    Code
    aplay -l

    check if device 0 analog is available..

    If you get the error no sound card detected (not sure if it's a bug or something changed in LE9) add this line to config.txt

    Code
    dtparam=audio=on

    Restart and go back to LE menu where you change audio output...now you can see more options to choose from namely ALSA default driver analog/hdmi or both

    Hope this helps you in some way..

    A small fan seems to be the most effective solution, you don't even need a heatsink. However I find all small/cheap fans to be junk with low-quality bearings which will not last very long. Of course, you can buy high quality fans like Noctua but they are too expensive to justify on a RPi.

    Cheap fans are not that bad...I got a 4cm one from china on my Pi2 connected on the 3.3v and it's completely silent...been On for over 2 years..still going..although it's not always On....it just goes on above 55c so when rpi is idle it's OFF...
